WolfStock1 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 31 minutes ago, CCHurricane said: Believe there’s some nuance to this data based on this gauge location. Looks to be exposed to a north wind. The three other Tampa Bay gauges all are running many feet BELOW normal, as the ocean has evacuated towards Tampa Bay’s mouth. Yeah I could see that. I noticed that the other gauges were still low, but just figured it was because the new surge hadn't reached them yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbullsfan Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Not quite what they are getting in Tampa city limits but just lost power finally here and it’s been non stop rain and wind for a while now. Tree debris everywhere and standing water in the backyard. I know others have it much worse but really curious what it all looks like when the sun comes up. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 There's still a huge waterspout outbreak going on off Floridas east coast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 The modeling of this as ultimately pretty good. Most of them did an amazing job depicting the degradation of the storm that was mainly north with the heavy rain. Pressures at LF were pretty on target too. The intensity of the northern eyewall has been surprising. I wouldn’t have expected the 100mph gust reaching up to st Pete and near Tampa with a landfall south of Sarasota. I guess that is a function of the eye expanding. The rainfall also for a fast moving storm has been impressive. This doesn’t even take into account the truly unprecedented tornado outbreak that made south Florida look like Oklahoma. Really a truly interesting storm to watch unfold. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Co worker in st Petersburg just replied and said there are branches down and a lot of street flooding but at least at his location not too much damage. They held power until well after it made landfall. Sounds like back half was the worst for them. Conditions Improving at his location 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally had to tell them shelter in place because there were so many warnings and the cells were training I couldn’t even tell them where it was coming from. The violent fucker that went through Vero beach just missed them to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem is that all the buoys that were near they eye were all out of commission. :-( Closet one was Venice, which looked like this: Give that though - one would have thought that Venice would have registered a lot more than 62 mph sustained, given that it was pretty much at the eye wall. Only thing I can figure is that it's because these are so close to the water or land - the wind levels are lower due to surface friction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered about this. I understand the philosophy and how the scientific means of measurement and classification process goes, but it seems imperfect with regard to how the public may perceive it. Im also aware of plenty of storms that have verified. Some have greatly exceeded, leading to re-classification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
